Everyone loves to create simple meals with readily available ingredients. And this easy puff pastry taco pizza completely fits the bill. You won’t believe how fast and easy this recipe is, and above all – it tastes amazing!

Simply roll, spread, top and bake – it’s that simple.

This vegetarian taco pizza has two toppings.

First topping – corn kernels, black beans, onions, cheese and bell pepper. I have used what I had on hand. But feel free to add other ingredients like red bell pepper, mushrooms and banana peppers.

The second topping is a must have. All that added lettuce, tomatoes and olives brings out an amazing depth of flavor.

Few Tips to avoid a soggy base!

For crispy crust make sure you follow these steps.

Heat your baking tray before putting the puff pastry on top. This will result in a crispy base.

Make sure all your toppings are paper-dried before it goes on the pizza. Corn, bell pepper and black beans hold moisture. So wrap the toppings in between a paper towel and press gently. This will draw out all the excess moisture and your pizza base will not end up soggy.

Always have puff pastry sheets on hand. This is a perfect last minute appetizer for unexpected guests.

METHOD

FOR PIZZA

Assemble ingredients. Preheat oven @ 400 degree F.

And spices.

Combine all the ingredients listed under pizza in a bowl.

Spread the toppings on a paper towel. Make sure all your toppings are paper-dried before it goes on the pizza. Corn, bell pepper and black beans hold moisture.

So wrap the toppings in between a paper towel and press gently. This will draw out all the excess moisture and your pizza base will not end up soggy. This step is a game-changer.

Meanwhile, grease a baking tray and place it in the warm oven for 15-20 minutes. This will result in a crispy bottom crust. A COOKIE/CAKE WIRE RACK CAN ALSO BE USED TO BAKE THIS PIZZA.

Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a rectangle.

Carefully, remove hot baking sheet from oven and transfer the pastry onto the hot baking sheet. Leaving an inch on all four sides make a rectangle on the sheet. Use a fork to gently poke holes throughout all of the pastry dough. This way the center will not rise during baking but the edges will puff up well.

Great recipe! Perfect for those that like a light crisp pizza. To switch it up in the winter, I have used home made or packaged bread dough. That comes out great too, just a bit heavier. Thanks for sharing!
